WE'RE TURNING 40!

Medical Center Celebrates Their 40th Anniversary

Since summer of 1978, our clinic has evolved, wherever possible, along with complex healthcare technologies and population growth while remaining within the 1960s era building.

Have a Memory of the Telluride Medical Center?

We’ve housed a lot of memories over the past 40 years. Got a story to tell? We’d love to hear it — share it with us here!

History

In 1978, the James Terry Gardiner Memorial Clinic, operated by Mountain Medical Services, opened its doors, utilizing the renovated former Idarado miner’s clinic (on the corner of Pacific Ave. and Townsend St.) to offer round-the-clock medical care, an emergency room and two beds for overnight patients.

We are recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and long-term, participative relationships.
